The Department of Conservation Biology at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) is offering a full-time position for a Population Biologist / Conservation Biologist (Postdoc) focussing on assessing past and future trends in species under land use and climate change and improving the design of monitoring schemes.

The position will be part of the large-integrating EU-project EU BON “Building the European Biodiversity Observation Network”. The overall goal of the project is to integrate and harmonize European data relevant for biodiversity monitoring and to develop prototypes for biodiversity monitoring for the global GEO BON initiative. The project covers terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems and will cover taxonomic and distributional data of biodiversity and drivers of change. 35 partner organisations form the EU Bon consortium. The consortium includes taxonomists, ecologists, modellers, as well as institutions intensively involved in science policy dialogues.
